Jerusalem (Israel) October 11 (ANI): Talking about the ongoing Israel-Palestine war, Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner of the Israeli Defence Forces said that the IDF since October 07 has been in a state of alert. The mission is to destroy Hamas's capabilities so that they can never inflict this damage on Israel again, he added. "The IDF since Saturday has been in a state of alert, of high alert in order to restore safety, and security to the state of Israel, and as instructed by the government to embark on an operation to degrade and destroy Hamas's capabilities to attack the country. The operations that are currently underway and have been since Saturday are comprised of three core components. First of all, the defense in Israeli territory. Those components include ensuring that the barrier that the Hamas terrorists breached is secured and closed. Secondly, we are still in a situation where we believe there is still a possibility that there are terrorists in Israeli territory. So we are operating in order to secure Israeli territory. There could be terrorists hiding in bushes or in a cupboard. And finally, evacuation of people from the front line so that they no longer need to be in distress. And we have evacuated, indeed, most of the people who wanted to be evacuated from the front lines of the border with Gaza. The second component, obviously, is the offensive activities that are currently underway. The mission is to destroy Hamas's capabilities so that they can never inflict this damage on Israel again," said Peter Lerner.
